I'm sure they make royalties from this but isn't this considered 'selling out'?

Naaaa...not when it's a 'poppy' song that they are SO over and don't play anyone. Let em get a little coin as long as it's doesn't start to get obnoxious.

 

Remember, they had the ATT(?) commercial with the new dad buying a baby Rush shirt.

 

Now, it starts to get a little much when you hear 'Caravan' on a Chrysler minivan commercial.

You should of been around for the 80s... Alot of Rush music was on the  airwaves back then.

True. I remember Mystic Rhythms being used by some news program on NBC in the mid '80s just after PoW came out.

 

They use TSOR samples on a talk station here in Boston.

 

Rush is everywhere. biggrin.gif
